A one week ago, my left turn signal would not shut off after making a left turn. I have to shut it off manually. Within a couple of days it started making a clicking noise before I could get it in to be fixed. Tonight I was driving the car, making a left turn and as the steering wheel was returning to the straight position (before the wheels were straight) it locked in a left turn position and would not release. The car kept turning to the left and I had to force the steering wheel to the right. Finally after jerking the steering wheel to the right it released and went back to a straight position. Something in the turn signal locked it up and would not allow the steering wheel to fully release after making a left turn. After that the right turn signal will not shut off. Luckily nobody was in the lane to my left or else I could have hit them. I am now afraid to drive the car until I get it fixed.

: the contact stated while driving 40 mph, there was a small amount of play in the steering wheel. Then, during a left turn, the vehicle lost power assist steering. This was followed by the turn signal switch not returning to the neutral position. The vehicle was not taken in for service. The consumer stated while making a left turn the wheel locked.
